From the Library – The Classic Book Discussion Group Will Read “Gone With the Wind” in February and March 2023

Gone With the Wind typically weighs in at more than 1,000 pages, so the Classic Book Discussion Group will tackle the Pulitzer-winning novel over two months:

*****

BOOK DESCRIPTION: Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Literature, Margaret Mitchell’s great novel of the South is one of the most popular books ever written. To date, it has been translated into 25 languages, and more than 28 million copies have been sold. Here are the characters that have become symbols of passion and desire: darkly handsome Rhett Butler and flirtatious Scarlett O’Hara. Behind them stand their gentler counterparts: Ashley Wilkes and Melanie Hamilton. As the lives and affairs of these absorbing characters play out against the tumult of the Civil War, Gone With the Wind reaches dramatic heights that have swept generations of fans off their feet.
